I missed one level of quote, I erroneously thought you brought it up.
I apologize to both of you.

As per your argument that it only applies to Christ,
my last post shows that if you are obedient, it applies
to you as well.

This one is pretty blunt;
“Whether as a spirit son or a spirit daughter of our Heavenly Father, each of us was sent here from our first estate to undergo this joyful yet stressful mortal second estate. Being the literal, premortal spirit children of the Father, each of us can, by going from grace to grace, eventually receive of the fulness of the Father, as did Jesus (see D&C 93:20).” (Neal A. Maxwell, A Wonderful Flood of Light [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1990], 36)

D&C 93:20 For if you keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.
Anything less than actually being a God is not his fulness.

I'm sorry, I thought we were using the scriptures.
We really shouldn't wander off like this.
As far as I'm concerned, the scriptures are binding upon us. I will believe whatever is proved from them. Everything else is commentary at best.
